CTV Ottawa in HD

What is HD-TV?

High Definition is a digital broadcast signal with more lines of resolution than analog Standard Definition (1080i compared to 480i). HD-TV is also broadcast in a different aspect ratio, giving you a wider image (16:9 compared to 4:3). HD-TV also sounds different, with audio in either Dolby Digital stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1.

What does this mean to you, and what about CTV Ottawa?

If you've already entered the world of HD-TV by acquiring an HD television, you'll now be able to get CTV network programming in HD here in Ottawa, provided you have an HD source. CTV Ottawa HD is available through Rogers on channel 518 and Vidéotron on channel 607, and we will continue to update you once other cable and satellite providers are carrying our HD signal.
